A blog from a science nut, computer geek, sometimes philosopher, and a human. Based out of Denver, with a love of Antarctica, I seem to wander the world so who knows where I'll be in 6 months.
wonderfullyrich So I promised I’d be putting my asian pics up soon and they’re here! No time lapse stuff is in yet, but I’ve started to work on the montage so hopefully it’ll be ready before I hit denver again. I’m guessing that’ll be in about 2 weeks, but as usual nothing firm there. Enjoy the … Read more
It will have been nearly 12 weeks since I started this strange tour of asia when I finally get home and start work on the 15th of September. 3 months wandering around 6 countries, boarding 17 planes, walking through nearly that many airports, taking an infinite number of cabs, used 7 currencies, taken nearly 6,000 … Read more
What do YOU do when your bored in Bangkok? What else but read about someplace cold… Many of my friends from last year on the ice are heading back down or are already down on the ice again this year and I’ll have to admit it’s amazingly difficult not to be sick with envy when … Read more
So I’m in Delhi again after visiting Karen Lampe in Palampur. She’s doing a 2 month volunteering stretch with RIAES (Rural India Awareness and Educational Society, www.riaes.org.in ) in the beautiful Kangra Valley.

So I just got here this afternoon, but I’m glad I visited other parts of asia before india as the shock would have been a bit much if I had come directly from the states. China, Korea, and Thailand seemed different, but modern and “familiar” as compared to this. The driving is definitely insane and … Read more
So maybe 2 months of traveling is a bit much. Especially when you have a never ending sinus something. (Yes it did come back) I’m in Thailand now and have spent 24 of the last 36 or so hours just sleeping and doing nothing. It’s a major waste of time, but I’m physically and mentally … Read more
So I just told you about the clean world, but I have to get you to see the pics from the Pentaport Music festival. Before we got there it Wednesday, Thursday. Then it rained Friday, then was foggy for Saturday and finally was sunny for Sunday. As this was in a ball park, it turned … Read more
While I’m still in favor of making the slogan “Surreal Korea” or perhaps “Korea the place where the surreal occurs” I must add that I’ve never been in any place in the world where like this which was this safe. For example, I’m in a PC “bong” (it’s actually means PC Room, but all the … Read more
